I watched QBking77 's video for the samsung epic 4g that he released on oct 23 i believe. This video explained how to gain superuser access and how to root. I did this fine and I know its rooted. I just don't know what I am supposed to do next now that this new (gingerbread) update has been released. Am i able to update now that i am rooted and have superuser access? is this what i should do? I was hoping to have the most up to date of everything and it seems to me that ice cream sandwhich or something like that is hte number 1 thing.
Please help me. im lost.

You can either Odin back to EC05 to accept the OTA (cannot do rooted) or simply flash a new Gingerbread ROM, a bunch of them in Development, and then if you want (don't need to) if you are on baseband ending in EC05 can flash the file that will update your modem to EI22 (the latest modem). qbking77 has videos for all this stuff too.
Well. what do you recommend? I am not an expert at this and i don't know the best answer. I still have EC05. The only thing ive done is add an open garden and bought tegra overclock and have it overclocked ot 1.52 or so.
Thanks again for your help.

Go to Development, download and flash a GB ROM, I highly recommend and support Legendary ROM. Then it is optional to go into the stickies there and grab the EI22 flashable updater in the Modems thread.

so will i still be on FROYO if i flash one of these recommended roms?
If i heard you correct, i will be flashing a rom which is like an optimized/ specialized OS for android's FROYO build. And then I will get the EI22 flashable updater in the modems thread (EI22 is gingerbread?).
Just so i understand hte process, what is the point of flashing a rom before updating to Gingerbread?
Also, i will not be updating with sprints OTA update because that will mess stuff up?
Thanks . You're answering questions that i've had forever.

No you will have Gingerbread. The modems are independent of the ROM and your choice. The ROM I suggested is EI22 firmware code optimized GB. Then if you want the baseband (MODEM) to be updated you can flash the modem delta I told you about. The OTA will not mess anything up, just more steps and more work to root.

I've read your responses and thought about them and read about them and thought over and over. I don't know what im supposed to do. Forgive me for being so slow.
Im rooted and superuser and my stats are
model number :sph-d700
firmware version: 2.2.1
baseband version:s:d700.0.5s.EC05
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
build number : froyo.ec05
hardware version D700.0.5
I just dont understand what you are saying and ive been reading around on wikipedia and stuff. I guess im just slow. Thanks for your help.
Wow! I am so glad I came across this thread. I registered with this forum so I could ask the exact same question. (I watched the video and really really didn't want to look like a noob)
I have the exact same specs as above:
model number :sph-d700
firmware version: 2.2.1
baseband version:s:d700.0.5s.EC05
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9

I am rooted and have clockwordmod 2.5.1.0 because I did some one click root thing a while back. I tried the OTA update (because last time it worked, I just lost my root) but this time it didn't.
I followed the instructions on how to unroot in QBKing77's video on youtube watch?v=xJ5XZIlGwNY (Sorry too new to post links) with no luck. I even watched a couple of other videos that said they were updated versions, but I think they were for the Galaxy S II.
I was trying to go back to stock and get the OTA update, but thought I bricked my phone because all I would get was the little phone yellow exclamation point and computer. Every .tar or whatever file I had in the PDA would fail. I changed out usb plugs and tried two different computers both on windows 7 one 64 bit and the other 32.
Is it really as simple as me booting in to clockworkmod and selecting a gingerbread ROM? I thought I ran across a "really close to stock" GB ROM but with a couple of fixes.
Is it really that easy, and I wasted about 4 hours trying to unroot my phone?
Many Thanks In Advance.
Ricky
The latest for the Epic is Gingerbread. Click on my signature that says Are You Legendary. Download that ROM. Flash that ROM in clockworkmod. Check Qbking's videos on flashing a ROM. Then you will have the latest Gingerbread. Then go into the top of Development and go into the modems thread and get and flash the ec05toei22 file.

Rick and bret, you both are on ec05 but neither can get ota to ei22 cause you are rooted. Your 2 options:
1. Odin to stock ec05 using qbking77's video. You will then get the ota. This will wipe your contacts, etc. So BEFORE doing this, go to the market and get both call log and sms backup & restore. You can also export contacts to sd. Once on ec05 base, restore all. Do it before ota. No root or cwm. You will have to do the new 1click video specific to ei22. Look for the update video.
2. Do a backup in cwm. Find an ei22 rom and put it on your sd card. I recommend cleangb by toadlife. Get the rfs version. Boot into cwm and install zip from sd. Select the rom file. When done, you will be rooted ei22 w/cwm. Then boot cwm and restore/advanced/restore data. You will have all your stuff back.

I have a couple more questions.
What is the point of ODIN?
What is the point of clockworkmod and where do i get the most recent?
Why aren't we flashing? to ice cream sandwhich which is the most recent version out there?
thanks.
Also, which program flashes us? is this odin that does this?
If you are not confident with all of this, research.
CWM - Thing on the phone that flashes custom ROMs and certain modems (replaces the normal recovery) To find the newest, look for it and then flash the zip. It is specific for the epic so make sure you don't get one for the wrong phone
Odin - Flashes things from the computer. Used to downgrade modems or go to complete stock or flash an Odin rom (rare)
We don't have ICS because it takes a lot of time for our devs to port that to the epic. It isn't just copy and paste. It requires a lot of hard coding and will take a long time and we are waiting until cm9 to even start to get in to it. Also sprint and samsung EOLd the epic so we will never get ICS.
Gingerbread actually came out on July 24, 2011 but we just got it recently on the epic

Ill give you a step by step.
You probably already have CWM.
First put legendary on the SD card then follow this:
1. Watch and follow this http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=qnk6lfBh5rI
2. In CWM (volume down, camera, power while off) choose wipe data, then choose zip from SD card (camera button to select, volume to move, back to go back), then navigate to legendary and select it

HUGE thanks to kingsway8605 because without him, we would NOT have gotten this done. He spent hours getting a hold of this .zip, flashing this, odin'ing that, please appreciate what he did for us!!

Please read everything before flashing and proceed with caution!

EK02 Baseband/Radio
EK02 Radio
You can flash this right over your current ROM right from recovery but ONLY IF YOU ARE ON EG30 RADIO!! This is an update for that radio and that radio only! Don't be alarmed, it will take a few seconds to flash it. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that we don't have a stock EG30 radio, only EG12 or EG31. You can flash those if you want to get off of the EK02 modem, but hopefully this radio will eliminate LoS!

Thanks, once again, to kingsway8605!!
Just a note on some of the posts I am seeing in the thread:
(1) I haven't had the update long enough to say if it fixes the LoS for everyone, but since I received it yesterday I have not received an LoS when I used to get them all the time. Your mileage may vary. The screencap below shows what you should have if you install everything correctly.
(2) I am not a dev, I am just lucky. The great devs viper mentioned in his post spent a lot of time helping me get the update off of my phone. Methods of extracting the update.zip that worked with older phones did not work with this phone, which only complicated the process.
If you cannot install it, it is not our fault. You knew the risks when hacking your phone. I only received an OTA and the great devs were able to help me extract this OTA from my phone. At this point, it appears that even when the official OTA update is pushed to your phone, that it will still fail. The moden update only works on EG30 phones, period. Unless a dev can pull some amazing hackery or Samsung gives us a full tar, you are just going to have to wait. The kernel update should work just fine. If you are not EG30, I recommend Calk's EK02 ROM in another thread.
(3) As pointed out in (2), you hack your phone at your own risk. While this is an official OTA pushed to me by Sprint, it was pushed to ME by Sprint and not you. I have a person to call if this OTA screws up my future update path, but I have no idea how this will affect your future update path. INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK.
(4) The update includes some very minor UI enhancements and minor bug fixes in addition to the LoS fix.
yay we did it
cant WAIT to see what comes of this. thanks!
Awesome work, everyone!! Kingsway8605, Viperboy, all the others who helped. It was cool to see it happen. Cant wait to see the results.

I believe you have to be stock EG30 to flash the update.zip - you should be able to flash just the modem regardless of what ROM/Modem you're currently running. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hey Chris, when I tried this kernel last night, the factory reset option did nothing, it just went back to the main menu.(your CWM repacked one works fine tho). Also, is init.d support ever going to be added back?
EDIT: One more note, is it possible to enable the back option by default again since power is now enter by default on this recovery? Makes navigating through the recovery so much quicker than having to use the back button at the bottom of the phone

I did not think I was confused about this until I saw this post. I thought that CIQ was in the ROM? If we are running a ROM with CIQ removed and we flash one of these repacked kernels and recoveries, it does not put CIQ back onto our phone correct?

Even though you generally do not need to wipe anything when flashing kernels, whenever I flash through CWM, I always wipe dalvik and cache a couple times.
With ODIN, I have never wiped anything when flashing as I don't go into CWM at all when using ODIN. I just go straight into download mode. I have used ODIN more than CWM and have NEVER had any issues... Until now.
The weird part - When I have the bootloops and go back into CWM to restore my backup, I have the new ACS recovery installed.
Any ideas?
---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------
I was just reading through another thread and had an idea as to why this may not be working. Maybe someone can confirm? I have a theme installed that has the AIO lockmod built in. I know that mod messes with framework.res right? Could that have anything to do with my issues?
I might be able to mess with that tonight if that is the case but would prefer not to spend my time messing with it if that is definitely not causing anything to wrong.

i had caulks 1.5a installed and then did a full system wipe (caulks wipe) and then installed the new ek02 that caulk posted. does this mean i have ciq or not?
is there a way to check?

You have ciq, There is no ciq hack yet for 2.3.6
Edit: I stand corrected, Calks rom has ciq disabled
i found this (only been around since 16th of september.. cough!) to check ciq

thats a good app, checks for more than just ciq, and TReve is the guy who outed CIQ publicly (after k0nane, but more media caught on)... They even sent him a C&D and threatened to sue...
Odin or Flash this to get Deodexed stock EK02 with latest root and su binary and Busybox 1.20. This also comes with Chris's Stock CWM EK02 kernel. This does not include the modem. To flash the modem follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367695.

Download
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).
1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder
2. Open odin
3. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold v-down + power)
4. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
5. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot.
6. You do not need to choose a pit file.
7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Deodexed-Rooted-Busybox-CWM-EK02.tar)
8. Hit start. It will do its thing.
9. If it fails than try a new cable.
10. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.

Yes but it won't just root. It will give you everything else. So if you don't want deodexed system don't flash this. If you want Deodexed system this is for you.

This is 2.3.6
Sent from the future.
im currently on 2.3.4, eg30 modem, and blazer rom. all the new threads are kind of confusing me. So i should odin this stock ek02 and flash the modem. then flash whatever rom i would like to use after, correct?
Sorry if this may seem like a dumb question, you say Odin or Flash. If Flashing, is it as easy as just going into recovery and flashing as a zip like a ROM, or is there more to it?
What are the odds that overstew's ICS theme will work on this?
I just flashed the zip in CWM, flashed fine.
formatted system
wiped data
wiped cache
wiped dalvik
flashed zip
Calks Format all zip would work just fine as well

I'm about to try his Ciano universal, will report back. if that works the ICS should as well
Edit: unfortunately The Ciano Universal Theme does not work over this. Wiped cache, dalvik, flashed theme. looked like it went through fine. rebooted from CWM but didn't get past first boot screen - pulled battery. Powered on, same thing. Went back to CWM to re-wipe and reflash(twice over itself) to try again, but same problem upon boot. oh well. There'll be plenty of options soon.

Yes except the rom part. I don't think there are any roms yet for EK02 but haven't checked lately so I might be wrong.

Yes you just flash the zip in CWM. Then flash the modem with CWM if you are on the EG30 modem.

You should never flash themes, mods, roms etc that are built on different OS versions. It might appear to work but there are changes in the versions so you are basically trying to mix pieces of 2.3.4 with 2.3.6 which is a bad idea.
Thanks, understood. Had some backups at hand so I thought I'd give it a go. Thx for the rom!

No. This is just a stock deodexed base for people that want to be stock and for devs to build on.
That's it...

It combines the features of wifi tether, crt, 1% battery, reboot, recovery, download, rotation lag fix, screen rotation, no shutdown confirmation, no battery full notification (blue led still shows) and 14 statusbar toggles.
Odex is up now.
So I'm a bit confused on how to use this properly. I've researched the differences between odex and deodex but I'm still confused. I'm running EL13 rooted. I don't have CWM installed so I'm stock still, but rooted. I tried and odex hotspot a couple days ago and it didn't work. It froze my phone at the Galaxy SII screen. I reflashed it and now back to normal. My question is which type should I be using, odex or deodex? If I use the deodex do I remove the odex file currently on the phone? How do I clear the cache in odin?
Thanks,
BlueKalel

Which one you use depends on the rom you have installed. Odexed or Deodexed. So if you have a stock EL13 rom installed and it doesn't specify deodexed then you are odexed. Neither of these files install via Odin. You must have a recovery to install it or you can pull the files out of the zip and manually copy them to the right directories on your phone using root explorer, adb or some other root file explorer. I would suggest installing the Rogue EL13 Stock kernel to get recovery. Than you just copy the EL13HotspotMod-Odexed.zip to your phone and flash in recovery. If you are Deodexed you download the deodex file and do the same thing. You don't clear cache in Odin. You do that in recovery. The zips do that for you so you don't need to worry about it.
So if I'm completely stock(with root, flashed with tar), no recovery, I'd use odex version. Do I have to clear the cache? If I have to clear the cache and don't what to put recovery on then I can't use this, is that correct?
Thanks for your patience and help,

Clearing the cache isn't really necessary but if you flash the zip in recovery it will clear it for you. You should Odin the Rogue EL13 Stock kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20293988&postcount=33 to get recovery. Then flash the zip.
The odex version left me stuck at Samsung galaxy s2 screen. I had to restore a backup to get running again. Any ideas why?

How long did you let it sit? It has to rebuild cache which can take a minute or two on the first boot after flash.

What rom are you on? As John said a delay of a few minutes will appear after the first boot but you should get past the samsung screen to the boot screen before the delay kicks in. Odex seems touchy and dependent on the rom. I used calk's stock rooted el13 to build it.

Also I have seen people on prior versions having the same issue because of bad flashes. Download the file again or confirm the md5. Install the mod again. If it doesn't work, manually wipe cache and dalvik 3 each. Yes I know what conventional wisdom tells you but please give it a try. And please report back to let is know how it went and any details you can provide.

You must be on an EL13 Rom for this to work. The kernel and modem don't matter although I would recommend running everything EL13.

It sat for five minutes but I will try it again to see if I can get it flashed. I am running stock rooted with latest rogue kernel and el13 modem.
Edit: I just remembered I haven't flashed the el13 system yet, only the kernel and modem. That's why I couldn't get past boot logo I guess.
